WILL THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY GRANT so MUCH
| MEN WHO MAY BE NOMINATED.
An INFORMAL meeting of prominent Tammany
men was held on Monday night with the view of
deciding which Of the Offices to be filled this fall
should be demanded by Tammany Hall. All tho
principal interests which in combination form the
Tammany Hall power were represented, and full
discussions took place as to what claims should
be made rs the price of peace with the counties,
and United Democracy Yesterday the results
Of the meeting were whispered quietly around.
though extraordinary efforts were made to keep
them from newspaper men. Tammany's voice,
though 1t spoke in soft accents was no moro
modest than usual The decision arrived at was
that Tammany would be satisfied with one Supreme
Court Judge, one City Court Judge, the Surro-
gate and the District-Attorney She was willing
that her rival should have the other Supreme
Court Judge. the other City Judge. the new
Criminal Judge and the Controller 1t was de-
cided that these claims should be conveyed to the
county Democracy bosses with all possible dill
gence and that they should be urged to hold q
meeting and decide to the concession of these
Claims CT the suggestion of any others.
1he voice OF Tammany was listened to with
attention by Maurice j. Power, Commissioner
Purroy, Police Justice White and the bigwigs of
the County Democracy. 1t has developed volume
and depth since the death of Thompson the partial
retirement Of Grace, the exile of John keenan,,
the imprisonment of Jaehne, and the extinction
OF Maurice B. Flynn and his famous corre-
srondent, Mr. Squire. The loss OF these great
men has somewhat impaired the articulation Of the
county Democracy 1t does not speak with that
boldness and decision which characterized it in

at least, has gained. and it speaks up to the

Before they fight the Counties will deliberate
They have arranged to meet next Monday night
at the New-Amsterdam Club, and they will then
consider Tammany's proposals and suggest such
reVlsions and amendments as may seem to them
worth fussing over. The trouble will come when
they debate about the District-Attorneyship and
the new Criminal Court Judgeship. Mr. Power
Is determined to have the former for his friend,
Mr. Fitzgerald, and Mr.. MARITIME is determined
10 have the latter for himself. Tammany people
declare that they will stand firm for one or the
other of these Offices. They are willing to go
so far in the path of concession as to give tho
County Democracy its choice between them. 1t
can have whichever it chooses to select, but it
cannot have both. Tammanv's candidate for
either place is General Roger A. Pryor. The
salary of each is the sane-S12,0 900. ...
There are two places upon the Supreme Bench
to be filed made vacant by the expiration of the
terms of justices Lawrence and Donohue Both

felt as to their Icing renominated. Judge Law

other offices render Judge Donohue's chances
doubtful. Ex-senator fitzgerald is the conceded
candidate OF the machine for District-Attorney.

Is divIded between Adolpli L. Sanger and Joseph
Newbutger, who was an Assemblyman some years
ago. 1ammany also has two asprants to decide
between. These are cx-Justice Dessar and Lewis
Cohen. Mr. Cohen has, like Mr.. Newburger
tablished himself in a niche in famcs temple by
spending year in the Assembly.
Mr.. MARITIME is the only County Democrat
spoken OF for the new place the City Criminal
Eench. Much Of the support given him is nIg-
gardy rendered. There are many men in tic
organization who can never forgive him for send

Perhaps it will break out after the nomination has
been made. There is no positive certainty In
view of Tammany's claims that Mr. MARITIME
Will secure the prize he wants. II Tammany
insists on having either the Judgeship or tho
District Attorneyship, he will probably be forced
to content himself with denomination to hsp
present place, for the County Democracy cannoo
afford to let the office of District-Attorney pass
wholly away from those who have created Its

Mr. Locw is the only person mentioned for the
Controllers Office and he maintains that tho
office must seek him If il wants him, Ex-Mayor
Grace has some work a. an ayenger to do in this
direction. He says that Mr. LOew shall not bc
renomnatcd, and as Mr.. LOew does not seem to
care whether he is or not, MIR. Grace may perhaps
have his own way about It,
